Engineering class was hilarious today! Corey and Grant built a trebuchet and we finally got a chance to test it today. the first test was a light weight ball which when flying! Shelby had brought a pumpkin today so we where gonna launch the pumpkin on the trebuchet. We where gonna make it an annual thing, the first annual pumpkin chunkin’! when Corey took the pumpkin out of the bag it was in, apparently it was carved quite a long time ago because he had the most disgusted look on his face. we couldn't smell it until he tuned it over and all of the leftover pumpkin innards poured out almost as if the pumpkin puked its guts out, literally. ugh the smell was AWFUL!
so we finally set the trebuchet up, got the cameras ready and set, and loaded the pumpkin. 3 2 1 CHUNK! it only when 5 feet, but it went BACKWARDS! EPIC FAIL! especially when the smell of the smashed pumpkin hit, yet the failure was hilarious!
